Shock comic Lisa Lampanelli apparently didn’t take the news that The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck won’t be leaving the show well.

Far be it from us to deconstruct a joke, but the gag simply doesn’t make sense. Hasselbeck may be right-of-center, but she’s one of the least polarizing conservatives on television. Maybe Lampanelli wanted to get on the left’s good side after playfully using the word “nigga” in reference to Media Cultural Darling Lena Dunham.
